Part I

[Verse 1: KALEB MITCHELL]
Ayo, it's young Mitchell
AKA the best you never heard of
Writing in the dark cuz
I'm blacking on all my verses
Your team lookin' sus
Are you sure that you wanna verse (vs.) us?
You just actin' tough
If you play with us then it's curtains
The name-dropping don't impress me
I am not a groupie dog
Had a dream and went to work
Now life is like a movie dog
Never thought that I'd be in
Another country cause of this
I was the butt of all the jokes
But now the people love my s-
(Shut your mouth)
Harriet Tubman
The way I'm leading the underground
Prolly double my dollars
If I decided to dumb it down
But that is not an option
I was taught to use my noggin
These rappers hooked on the xans
When they need to be hooked on phonics
I wish Martin was here to see
How far we done came
I wish that Ron was alive to see
Me follow my dreams
Until I see 'em again
I'm coming for everything
I know these dark nights
Finna lead me to better days
Yeah

[Hook: KALEB MITCHELL]
Time to save the world
Where in the world is all the time?
So many things I still don't know
So many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path
I know my heart will guide me back

[Verse 2: Sam Stan]
Young Samuel
Out to change the world
Did I do it by 21?
Well I can't tell
And my homies out here smiling
Like they made bail
If they don't get to see Heaven
They gon' raise hell
Didn't go to school like [?]
People come to shows
Just to scream and yell
Oh, you on a wave?
I'm on a different scale
It's funny how my hunger
Got me missing meals
Shorty hit my line
I just couldn't hit her back
Killing all the vibes
Make it hard to interact
Keep the family intact
Tryna make a hundred million dollars of these raps
Feel me?
And I'll take a hit to make a hit
And if you don't switch then it's a swish
You are not missed, you not missed
How I feel in the midst of all this sh-
Feel me?

[Hook: KALEB MITCHELL]
Time to save the world
Where in the world is all the time?
So many things I still don't know
So many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path
I know my heart will guide me back

[Verse 3: Foggieraw]
Look
I pull up skrr, skrr, skrr
Fresh as hell
I ask the girl
"Who look better, me or Denzel?"
She told me "Young Foggieraw
I really can't tell"
Show you right
It's sure
Polish white
Don't I resemble the Dolomite
Left out the jump, shining
Baby, I'm the realest nigga
Ain't no silver lining
Can't look forward to the past
My future on the horizon
Niggas can't reach me here
Niggas is on Verizon
Plan, too much uber, ducking Uncle Sam
2K show, you niggas NBA Jam
Black lil' shorty
She look just like Pam
They tell me, watch my language
And still, don't give damn
She in love like Barbra Streisand
Can't nobody get it like that
I bet that I can
[?] fighting
All my people good
Do you remember the Titan?
Shh, shh, shh
Niggas religious
You niggas fictitious
You [?]
You niggas reading the scriptures
But you never prayin'
See these niggas talkin' to youngins
But they never paying
How could you do that?
I gotta show up and improve that
Youngins [?] outchea
[?]
Young Vandross

[Hook: KALEB MITCHELL]

Part II

[Verse 1: KALEB MITCHELL]
Inner demons
War is raging but
If you ask, I'll say I'm fine
It's a never, ending battle between
My heart and my mind

[Pre-Chorus: KALEB MITCHELL]
These giants tower over me
Suffocating, I can barely breathe
These giants tower over me
But my God is bigger than them

[Chorus: KALEB MITCHELL]
The bigger they are
The harder the fall
And I know just how to bring you to your knees
You may be strong
You may not believe
That I, I will defeat

[Outro: KALEB MITCHELL]
I will defeat my g-
